Doom rogue-like devlog day 7

So sorry for the late devlog, I kind of forgot to post one when I finished for the night, honestly not much to report. I'm sort of spending less time on this project just to keep myself from burning out, I think that was an issue before was that I'd spend a lot of the day working on it (which was anytime I had free time before 11 pm) but with me having little motivation currently I'm just working on it for an hour each day.

Doom rogue-like devlog day 6

So.... sorry about not posting yesterday. I basically didn't work on it all yesterday, I just didn't have any motivation to really work on it in fact I almost didn't work on it today until someone close to me encouraged me to at least work on it for an hour. Even then though I didn't get much done, spacing out a lot and for some reason godot keeps not responding or reseting my changes to the player script. Currently I'm trying to work on step handling which I forgot about, something I haven't actually done before which I know it's something simple that every 3d game needs but the games I've made we're 2d so I haven't had much experience with it.

Doom rogue-like devlog day 5

So I haven't done much today, kinda been spacing off a lot but also I've been messing around with doom wads, trying to test doom map importing using this plugin I found. So far from what I've tested it imports EVERYTHING. geometry, entities, textures, everything in a map into a scene. If I knew how to pack stuff into a WAD maybe I could just map everything out in like Ultimate doom builder or SLADE then just import the maps into godot but I don't know how to do that. If anyone reading this does or knows anyone who would know how to do stuff like that let me know, but for now I'm just going to block out geometry them export it as a model to then import into godot as that was a method I found I could do.

Doom rogue-like devlog day 4

So I haven't added much, I mainly just have been making a developer ui so I can see internal variables during runtime. I've also switched up how rendering works, it now renders the game at 1280 x 800 but it now renders the world to a subviewport at 320 x 200, the reason I did this was because the developer console I added, its font size would be massive compared to the screen itself and it would make it hard to read, it also means the ui can be rendered at higher quality than the game it's self which, while yes doesn't look like doom, but does mean the player can have more control over how pixelated the game looks at least.

Doom rogue-like dev log update

Sorry for no devlog today (well technically yesterday because it's like 2 am while I'm writing this), I decided to take the day off at the request of someone very close to me. They suggested since this is going to be a long term project of mine that it'd be best to have days off where I don't work on it as to not burn out, specifically the mid week day off style day off where it goes 3 days of work, 1 day off, 2 days of work, 1 day off then repeat. So sorry for no update on the game but I will be working on it the next 2 days (today and tomorrow) so if you're following this, expect dev log entries, I won't post another update again in the future about this.

Doom rogue-like dev log day 3

We now have a working player with physics, obviously its extremely rough but its close enough to og doom, I just need to tweak values to work. I tested out how it felt to just snap to full speed but that didn't feel right so doom defiantly has acceleration. I also have a custom dev console thanks to Jitspoe's dev console add-on from this video. No I will not tell you what console commands exist or what they do, you'll have to figure it out when it comes out.

Speaking of release, I still don't know if I wanna sell this game or just make it free. I just want the game to feel like doom in only game-play and not looks or design. Well maybe I want it to resemble it but not using the actual doom assets (mostly because they're copyrighted, originally owned by ID but the rights to those got sold to Bethesda when Bethesda bought out ID).

Anyways today was my brithday and I probably should've taken the day off instead of working on but I really wanted to finish the physics system for you all and so the dev log for today wasn't just "today birthday, I ate cake and pizza instead of making game".

Doom rogue-like dev log day 2

Sorry for the late dev log, some personal stuff came up and had me occupied. So far I've just been coding player movement, it's important I get the feel right for this as I really want it to feel like og doom and not a watered down version of it. I even played some of it using chocolate doom, a doom source port dedicated to be as accurate to the original release of the game as possible. Some take aways they I bet some people who have only seen gameplay of it and not actually played it

1. You can hold down both forward and strafe at the same time to go faster (this is usually caused by the developers not normalizing the input vector before multiplying it by the speed of the player, which checks out as doom handles the players movement on the x and y axis separately)

2. Once you start falling from a height, you have no control as to where you go after that, any velocity you had beforehand will determine you're landing location

3. There is definitely ground friction but I'm still unsure if there is acceleration and it's just super fast or if the player just jumps up to whatever their movement speed is

4. Doom is still fun af :3

So I'll have to replicate these things but also gives ideas for potential items or upgrades, like one that gives the player air control, maybe at the cost of the faster strafe movement. Perhaps one that reduces ground friction.
